In need of OEM recirculation valve

I've been all over Nor-Cal and the internet to find an OEM recirculation valve and have had 0 luck without spending hundreds on a whole turbo assembly which I don't need. Just trying to pass the California state ref inspection. Any suggestions welcome!

You can't run an aftermarket recirculation valve? I'm not talking about a Bov but one that acts like the oem unit does.

I was trying to be as cheap as possible because I was planning on swapping back to my BOV after inspection anyway and just hang on to it for these "in case" situations. Lol Was kinda surprised nobody was selling one and I went to multiple dismantlers and couldn't even find any other vehicles with the same engine.
May just have to grab an aftermarket one anyway though. I gotta get this inspection over with already.
Hopefully someone here has one you can buy or borrow.

You can try just picking up a Mountune unit? I think its carb legal?
I bought a turbosmart recirculation valve on here like a year or so ago and I've never used it and dont plan on installing it. my job site is off a dirt road and i dont want to bother with having to clean it. idk if you still need it, but i'll send it to you if you pay for shipping.

The recirc valve doesn't need to be serviced. It's only the blow off valve due to its exposure to elements
